CUPS printers web page.
nice printer network. usb sure beats the hell out of lpr and a switch
box. :-)
No kidding. My client refused to let go of his old printers (e.g.,
reliable HP LJ 6P printer with an USB and parallel cable adapter). :(
Anyways, the current printers are HP with this MBP: DJ 450 and Office
JetPro 8600.
from any CUPS page select Printers tab. on Printers page, click a
printer name.
on printers page, click [Maintenance], select "Print Test Page".
after printing, select "Print Self Test Page".
Perfect results and no problems.
if both print, open some other program, ie, an editor, create some
text lines, send to printer.
No problems from previous printings like Office, Safari, Chrome, etc. so
no need to print again.
if it prints, there is a problem with interface to firefox.
if you can not print from another program, there is a problem with
CUPS interfacing to programs.
i have not had any problems with CUPS from day one of use.
because this is appearing to be CUPS related, my best suggestion is
to log https://www.cups.org/ and join or login.
enter 'firefox' as search. check thru 'matches' to see if you find
anything. if not, post to 'Developers' list which should get faster
reply that other lists.
at one time, under fedora or mandrake, do not recall, there was an
option of selecting CUPS or postscript printing. i no longer see
such. if you have such selection of ability to use utility other
than CUPS, you might give it a try.
also, have you tried a web search? it is possible that there has been
such a problem with another flavor of *nix.
I'll try. I was hoping this was a known common issue. :(
one last thought, *default*. have you tried, or have, a setting for
a printer as the default?
Yes. Remember, I tried a brand new Mac OS X account and selecting
various printers.
because i use a switch box, i have to select which printer is the
default before i print. possible you need to do same.
i do wish i could have been more help, but my experience and knowledge
has never encountered problem similar to this.
hopefully another linux user will pick up on this thread and be able
to help you.
i also wish i could spend more time with you on this, but i have run
into a portioning problem that i need to correct so i can upgrade to
centos 7.
I wonder if OTHER Mac OS X users have this problem too. Wait, am I the
only Mac OS X Firefox user in here? It seems like only Windows and Linux
users have participated in my thread so far.
